Synopsis
Childhood best friends, Rodora and Perlita have always suffered from the incessant taunting and ridicule for their ugly appearances. While Perlita accepted these criticisms gracefully and is contented with her life, Rodora, on the other hand, believed that there's no future and hope for unattractive people like them. Armed with her sheer determination, Rodora works under Doña Carmen, a rich but abusive old woman. When the spinster dies of a heart attack, Rodora claims all her wealth and uses it to undergo plastic surgery. She completely put her past behind her and changes her name to Giselle. Meanwhile, Perlita is willing to love any man who will accept her entirely despite her physical flaw. This leads her to trust George, a Filipino-American guy whom she believes loves her sincerely. But after one night, this guy dumps her, and takes all her money. Left with no choice but to accept her fate, Perlita works as a maid in the mansion of the Carbonels. By some twist of fate, the paths of former friends Perlita and Rodora cross again in the mansion. However, Giselle is now the wife of Ziggy, the son of Doña Charito, the matriarch of Carbonels. Unknown to Perlita, the beautiful wife of her boss is childhood best friend Rodora. Soon after, Giselle and Perlita get pregnant at the same time.
